This is Roxy, she’s an 8 week-old German Shepherd, I bought Roxy as a surprise for my wife, but it turns out she is allergic to dogs, so we are now looking to find her a new home. She is 59 years old, a beautiful and caring woman who can drive, is a great cook and keeps the house spotless

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Last Friday, it was the 70th birthday of my friend’s mother, so a magnificent dinner was provided by my friend and her father, to which several friends had been invited. Amongst them were two Americans, whom her parents had met many years ago, became good friends and were now their house guests.
On Saturday evening, we decided to go to a local pub, as the Americans love British pubs. The mother decided to wear trousers and got out a pair, which she started ironing in the kitchen, whilst the daughter, the American friend and I were having some tea. Suddenly, the American lady said, “I never wear pants.” At that very moment, my friend’s father was just entering the kitchen. On hearing “pants” he did a swift about-face, not saying a single word!
I think it was Churchill who said that Britain and the Us were two countries “separated by a common language.”
Over the Easter holidays, one of my neighbours went to the local Marks and Sparks with her much older sister, who was visiting from France where she's lived all her adult life, after marrying a Frenchman many years ago.
They decided to buy some foundation wear but the visitor was shocked to see one of the sections signposted, in large lettering: "KNICKERS." She pronounced it vulgar and marched out of the shop without buying a thing!

Hi Peter, supply the video first and then I shall consider her!
I don't think she'd want that video 'out there'

I understand.
So sorry, I missed this, Phaidra.
Of course she will!

Ah, language!

The Economist's interpretation of Britain and Brexit:
"Leaving the European Union
Britain faces up to Brexit."
Mrs May's shoes are still lovely!

I'm finding it all a bit scary. Good to see the funny side.
